Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

Kitron Revises Outlook for Second Half 2024
September 23, 2024 | KitronEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Reference is made to the outlook given in Kitron’s second-quarter report. The outlook for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) sites has not picked up as expected. Several major customers within the market sectors Electrification and Industry have continued to reduce and postpone demand for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 as destocking continues and end markets have not developed as expected.
To facilitate further growth for the Nordic sites, where demand is strong, and stabilize the load for the CEE sites, several product transfers have been planned. Some of these transfers have been pushed to the first half of 2025.
For the third quarter, revenues are expected to be between EUR 140 and 150 million with an operating profit (EBIT) between EUR 8 and 10 million.
The full-year 2024 outlook is updated with revenues of between EUR 635 and 660 million with EBIT between EUR 44 and 50 million, including EUR 4.8 million in restructuring costs in the first quarter.
The previous outlook for the full year 2024 was revenues between EUR 660 and 710 million with EBIT between EUR 53 and 60 million, including EUR 4.8 million in restructuring costs in the first quarter.
